WEBVTT 00:00.496 --> 00:04.619 [SPEAKER_00]: My dear speaker, brothers, sisters, elders, youngsters. 00:06.460 --> 00:18.627 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa Tata has given every one of us an opportunity to change for the better and change for the good. 00:20.288 --> 00:28.313 [SPEAKER_00]: Every day that Allah gives us to live on earth is an opportunity for us to have a better future. 00:29.285 --> 00:34.609 [SPEAKER_00]: a better tomorrow, and to never look back at our faults in our sins in the past. 00:35.689 --> 00:48.258 [SPEAKER_00]: And every day that we pass that passes by upon us is an opportunity for us to practically change anything that we want based on our capacity, based on the need that we want to change. 00:49.799 --> 00:58.285 [SPEAKER_00]: But the real question is, does this human being, do you and I have the capacity to change? 00:59.569 --> 01:01.171 [SPEAKER_00]: that are we capable of changing? 01:02.172 --> 01:08.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Do we have the remembrance of Allah enough in our life that we can say, you know what? 01:09.742 --> 01:11.164 [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps we can change. 01:11.785 --> 01:13.327 [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps we can do better. 01:14.395 --> 01:32.371 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we fall into this misunderstanding or this misconception that we find, perhaps, one of our children, you tell them every day, do this, do this, do this, and for years and years, you ask them to do something a certain way, but they don't do it, they don't listen. 01:33.252 --> 01:39.554 [SPEAKER_00]: Because now we feel that they've developed this habit that they're perhaps, they don't have the capacity to change. 01:40.494 --> 01:55.018 [SPEAKER_00]: Or sometimes we can find elderly folks that you tell them to do it a certain way or pray a certain way or act a certain way Or maybe you can tell the Muslim community to park a certain way And then we keep reminding, reminding, reminding and then we come to a point that 01:55.838 --> 02:09.038 [SPEAKER_00]: perhaps we say to ourselves individually that maybe we just don't have the capacity to change maybe we just can't do it because we've become so habitual the habits have been created so much then maybe we just can't do it. 02:10.363 --> 02:23.267 [SPEAKER_00]: And when we create this mindset in our mind, and we're constantly thinking in this certain way that perhaps we should give up because we don't have the ability to change, that is when the problem arises. 02:24.088 --> 02:36.732 [SPEAKER_00]: That is when we find the Muslim, Oma at large, questioning each other that perhaps whatever we're doing continue to do it, the way it should be done, and maybe we just don't have the capacity to change. 02:38.457 --> 02:56.108 [SPEAKER_00]: However, we find in this very world, major organizations, major companies will spend thousands and millions of dollars holding seminars in trying to bring change in society or in trying to bring change into their own company. 02:57.262 --> 03:08.507 [SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes even in major companies, implementing a very small change can cost a lot of money and at the same time can cost a lot of work and reminders. 03:09.527 --> 03:11.188 [SPEAKER_00]: But yet they don't stop. 03:11.909 --> 03:14.610 [SPEAKER_00]: They continue to strive in bringing that change. 03:16.451 --> 03:17.491 [SPEAKER_00]: So what's the reality? 03:18.692 --> 03:21.533 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you and I capable of change? 03:21.573 --> 03:23.414 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have the capacity to change? 03:26.715 --> 03:45.149 [SPEAKER_00]: In the Rajab Rahmatullah, he mentions a very beautiful couple it in Github or Eman and Fatih Al-Badi, he mentions that this human being, this believer, has the capacity to change if only that individual begins to analyze life in a certain way. 03:46.170 --> 03:49.552 [SPEAKER_00]: And he gives this very beautiful reminder, and he says that 03:52.620 --> 04:11.135 [SPEAKER_00]: The fear Allah subhan wa tala based on his authority over you, that if you can fear Allah based on your recognition of knowing that Allah has authority over you, then you will have the capacity to change, what does that mean? 04:12.376 --> 04:12.977 [SPEAKER_00]: For example, 04:13.865 --> 04:30.220 [SPEAKER_00]: They're driving on the 161 and all of a sudden your GPS flashes out that there's a cop right up ahead in the next half a mile and it tells you whether you should click if it's still there or if it's not there, it gives you these options nowadays. 04:31.340 --> 04:38.646 [SPEAKER_00]: And the moment you see that sign on your GPS, you're automatically going to slow down because you don't know whether it's there or not. 04:39.346 --> 04:41.188 [SPEAKER_00]: So you continue to slow down. 04:41.868 --> 04:50.515 [SPEAKER_00]: And the moment that cop passes by you, perhaps many of us will start driving much faster or at the speed that we were already on. 04:51.676 --> 04:52.657 [SPEAKER_00]: Why do people do this? 04:53.668 --> 04:57.769 [SPEAKER_00]: And at any time you see a stop sign in front of you, there's a cop right there. 04:58.289 --> 04:59.889 [SPEAKER_00]: Most of us will do a full stop. 05:00.089 --> 05:04.670 [SPEAKER_00]: We won't do partial stop like majority of us, perhaps, probably do. 05:05.430 --> 05:09.411 [SPEAKER_00]: We know that the person in front of us has authority over us. 05:10.111 --> 05:12.631 [SPEAKER_00]: And at that very moment, we act very differently. 05:13.012 --> 05:20.633 [SPEAKER_00]: We know that that individual has an authority over us, can give us a ticket, can perhaps do many things that we don't want in our life. 05:22.193 --> 05:34.025 [SPEAKER_00]: Ibn Arajab says that if you just recognize the fear of Allah Subhanahu Wa Tata in that matter that Allah has authority over you in every aspect of life that you will analyze life very differently. 05:34.105 --> 05:35.186 [SPEAKER_00]: That is the first step he says. 05:36.027 --> 05:38.649 [SPEAKER_00]: And the second thing he says was Thahim minu ala 05:40.713 --> 05:44.675 [SPEAKER_00]: That be mindful of Allah based on His proximity towards you. 05:45.415 --> 05:52.078 [SPEAKER_00]: Understand that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is always there every step of the way regardless where you are in life. 05:52.899 --> 06:03.344 [SPEAKER_00]: If you can understand and analyze life based on knowing that Allah's proximity is next to all of us, then you will act very differently in life. 06:04.084 --> 06:05.945 [SPEAKER_00]: Can I give you another example of this? 06:07.427 --> 06:13.428 [SPEAKER_00]: Nowadays, you find many youngsters, they'll smoke or they'll do things that they don't want their parents to know. 06:14.168 --> 06:21.670 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's happened to me in occasions where I'm standing with a group of friends and all of a sudden one of them is smoking and he sees that his father comes out of the house. 06:22.150 --> 06:26.871 [SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden, right when he lit lights up his cigarette, he throws it away right away. 06:27.331 --> 06:29.231 [SPEAKER_00]: Because he notices that his father walked out. 06:30.011 --> 06:31.291 [SPEAKER_00]: So I asked him, why did you do that? 06:31.311 --> 06:33.952 [SPEAKER_00]: He says, you know, I have to be mindful of my father. 06:35.351 --> 06:52.059 [SPEAKER_00]: So just like that individual in that very moment, he's mindful of the proximity of his father, understand that if we are mindful of a loss of animal tada, knowing that Allah is with us every step of the way, then there is a possibility of us changing in this world. 06:53.120 --> 06:55.061 [SPEAKER_00]: And that change that we bring in this world. 06:55.701 --> 07:00.664 [SPEAKER_00]: And the efforts that we put towards that change is recognized by a loss of animal tada. 07:01.943 --> 07:05.005 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, many of us might question that, you know, isn't really worth it. 07:05.805 --> 07:07.246 [SPEAKER_00]: I make all of this hard work. 07:07.306 --> 07:12.109 [SPEAKER_00]: I do all of these things and perhaps nothing really, you know, nothing really is accomplished. 07:12.689 --> 07:19.694 [SPEAKER_00]: So many of us start to question all of these rallies that we do for all of these rallies that we do for Dr. Aphias and Divi. 07:20.154 --> 07:26.618 [SPEAKER_00]: All of these rallies that we do for every campaign, every cause, every good effect that we can bring into the community. 07:27.179 --> 07:35.656 [SPEAKER_00]: We find that the actual cause of the things that we're trying to raise awareness for many times is never completed. 07:36.667 --> 07:45.974 [SPEAKER_00]: Many times we never come to a conclusion that we actually want based on our cause, but yet we find wisdoms continue to strive, and that's a good thing. 07:46.674 --> 07:55.180 [SPEAKER_00]: But many people, along with all of the striving and all of these struggles that we see, they start asking the question, is it even worth it? 07:56.141 --> 08:01.065 [SPEAKER_00]: Is a loss of hand, what's going to appreciate all of the hard work that I'm doing? 08:01.865 --> 08:07.612 [SPEAKER_00]: The reality is that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala appreciates everything we do in life. 08:08.313 --> 08:11.857 [SPEAKER_00]: Whether the outcome happens or not, it is not up to us. 08:12.578 --> 08:16.282 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes we feel that we are driven by outcomes. 08:16.382 --> 08:20.006 [SPEAKER_00]: We feel that, based on the outcome, we should make it effort. 08:20.607 --> 08:33.842 [SPEAKER_00]: But the truth is, every effort, every hard work that we put into this world, whether that hard work is for the sake of Dean, or whether that hard work is for the sake of your family, anything that you may do. 08:35.032 --> 08:44.337 [SPEAKER_00]: You might not see the fruits of it in your lifetime, but one day when you stand in front of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Tala, Allah will appreciate it. 08:45.157 --> 08:46.618 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah sees your hard work. 08:47.218 --> 08:51.240 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll give you an analysis through the very parables of the Qur'an. 08:51.760 --> 08:55.142 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa'Tala says wa'an nasa aya hu'sofa yorah. 08:55.702 --> 09:02.364 [SPEAKER_00]: that every hard work, every endeavor that we put into this world will surely be seen. 09:03.005 --> 09:05.465 [SPEAKER_00]: It will be seen on the day of judgment. 09:05.885 --> 09:15.929 [SPEAKER_00]: From my Yudizahul, Jazeal Opa, the Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on the day of judgment, will show this human being all of the hard work that he's put into this world. 09:16.749 --> 09:22.151 [SPEAKER_00]: And before I give this very example that's given to us through the parable of the Qur'an 09:26.062 --> 09:29.204 [SPEAKER_00]: A loss of animals, all I give is a very magnificent parable. 09:29.865 --> 09:33.668 [SPEAKER_00]: And gives us an example of the hard work that we put into this world. 09:34.308 --> 09:42.374 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, sometimes we live our life around saying that if we put this hard work, it might matter, it might not matter. 09:42.934 --> 09:45.736 [SPEAKER_00]: Most of us when we write our resumes, we never put 09:46.517 --> 09:47.577 [SPEAKER_00]: for a job offering. 09:47.597 --> 09:54.539 [SPEAKER_00]: We never put that we studied 18 hours, 19 hours for our, you know, degree and we did all of this hard work. 09:54.879 --> 09:56.340 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not appreciate in this world. 09:56.920 --> 10:05.062 [SPEAKER_00]: If you tell your boss, you did all of this hard work, all of these hours, but you'd never achieved the assignment, the boss would look at you and say, you know, perhaps, 10:05.897 --> 10:11.741 [SPEAKER_00]: You're not doing it right or correctly, perhaps you're spending your time in other things that you're not supposed to. 10:12.181 --> 10:20.066 [SPEAKER_00]: The idea is that this world, the people that we live around look for results and outcome. 10:20.902 --> 10:21.682 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the idea. 10:22.423 --> 10:34.227 [SPEAKER_00]: Every one of us, whether you're a boss or a manager or you're employed by someone, every one of us that we live around the society in the world, they're always looking for results. 10:34.747 --> 10:38.449 [SPEAKER_00]: They want to see whether you've accomplished those results or not. 10:39.089 --> 10:41.391 [SPEAKER_00]: No one ever sees the hard work that you put in. 10:41.872 --> 10:45.035 [SPEAKER_00]: No one ever sees that you stayed up all night raising your kids. 10:45.075 --> 10:51.281 [SPEAKER_00]: And then in the morning you go to work early in the morning and you came for budget prayer and then right after you went straight to work. 10:51.701 --> 10:53.243 [SPEAKER_00]: No one sees all of this. 10:54.824 --> 11:01.247 [SPEAKER_00]: In this world, you will find people will look for results and they will look for outcomes. 11:01.927 --> 11:07.489 [SPEAKER_00]: But in the year after, a loss of Hanwataala isn't worried about the results. 11:08.010 --> 11:09.530 [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't worried about the outcome? 11:09.930 --> 11:13.432 [SPEAKER_00]: He's worried if you are making an effort or not. 11:13.872 --> 11:25.115 [SPEAKER_00]: if you're even trying or not, and if you don't take the step of trying and trying to accomplish all of the goodness of this world, then there's a lack of effort on our behalf. 11:26.676 --> 11:32.218 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the hand on what's at it in Suratul Insan gives us a very beautiful example. 11:32.998 --> 11:37.759 [SPEAKER_00]: Now before I mention this very example, I'm going to give an example of this world so that the 11:41.038 --> 11:43.399 [SPEAKER_00]: For example, one day, someone calls you to their house. 11:44.779 --> 11:54.782 [SPEAKER_00]: And they say to you, there's a dinner party, come to my house, we'll have some good food, and perhaps we'll watch the football game or whatever game that's coming on. 11:55.182 --> 11:56.282 [SPEAKER_00]: And you go to this gathering. 11:57.683 --> 11:57.963 [SPEAKER_00]: When you, 11:59.087 --> 12:00.589 [SPEAKER_00]: reached together in what happens. 12:01.230 --> 12:11.042 [SPEAKER_00]: You find that all of the friends are gathered, the plates are put on the side, the cups are on the counter, and the food is also on the counter. 12:11.522 --> 12:14.966 [SPEAKER_00]: This type of serving, you oftentimes call itself serving. 12:15.507 --> 12:20.513 [SPEAKER_00]: When you automatically know that the cups are there, the plates are there, the food is there. 12:20.934 --> 12:23.677 [SPEAKER_00]: No one's going to come and serve you because everyone is there. 12:24.137 --> 12:27.381 [SPEAKER_00]: They know what the standard of this occasion is. 12:27.802 --> 12:30.024 [SPEAKER_00]: It's an occasion that you will come and serve yourself. 12:31.079 --> 12:38.205 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala, and the very verses of the Qur'an in Suratul Insan, gives us very similar examples. 12:38.865 --> 12:43.709 [SPEAKER_00]: But the only difference is that the example that Allah gives, he talks about the people of Jannah. 12:44.530 --> 12:52.917 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala begins with the very verses by saying, in Al-Abarara Ya Sharabun, I mean Ketsin, Kerem Azajuhak of Qafurah. 12:53.617 --> 13:06.389 [SPEAKER_00]: that, indeed, the righteous, the pious people, they will drink from a cup, can a misogyu hakafora and the flavor inside this very cup will be flavored with the drink that is called kafora. 13:06.409 --> 13:08.230 [SPEAKER_00]: And I want you to pay attention to this very carefully. 13:08.671 --> 13:13.075 [SPEAKER_00]: This very parable through the Quran makes fascinating sense. 13:13.695 --> 13:30.667 [SPEAKER_00]: What does Allah say, that the righteous folks, in Jannah, they will drink from a cup, minkeksin, the cup, the example of a cup is given, they will drink from a cup and the water or the flavor that will be poured inside this very cup, will be called gafurah. 13:30.687 --> 13:31.187 [SPEAKER_00]: How does that taste? 13:31.307 --> 13:32.108 [SPEAKER_00]: What is the flavor of it? 13:32.128 --> 13:33.589 [SPEAKER_00]: The flavor it's called gafurah, but how does it taste? 13:33.609 --> 13:39.633 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah wa alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam alam al 13:41.188 --> 13:44.629 [SPEAKER_00]: But who will receive this, the abroad, the righteous folks? 13:45.829 --> 13:47.070 [SPEAKER_00]: But who are the righteous folks? 13:48.370 --> 14:09.517 [SPEAKER_00]: And the Mufasirin have mentioned very fascinating that the righteous folks, Im N'yama Ralliyullah, it's a land race from Rasulullah's Lord Islam, that the Prophet's Lord Islam says, in Nama Sammaulullah, who jelleth an'a'u al-A'Braw, li'an na'um, burro al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'aba'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A'u al-A' 14:10.273 --> 14:20.458 [SPEAKER_00]: that the abrah or those, the righteous are those that understand the rights of their parents and they understand the rights of their children. 14:21.619 --> 14:35.687 [SPEAKER_00]: As people living in this world, I think everyone here can gladly testify that either you're a child of a parent or you're a parent of a child, or you're both. 14:36.167 --> 14:37.828 [SPEAKER_00]: Many of us have that blessing to be both. 14:38.654 --> 14:39.675 [SPEAKER_00]: So what is the abroad? 14:39.875 --> 14:46.458 [SPEAKER_00]: The abroad is the one that understands the rights of their parents, and understands the rights of their children. 14:47.118 --> 14:51.960 [SPEAKER_00]: The rights of their parents are such that they take care of their parents at their elderly age. 14:52.021 --> 14:54.402 [SPEAKER_00]: They make dua for their parents at their elderly age. 14:54.842 --> 14:56.663 [SPEAKER_00]: And the rights of their children is what? 14:57.203 --> 15:07.588 [SPEAKER_00]: that they take care of them when they are young, they provide for them, they make dua for them, they make sure that they are guided Islamically, they make sure they go out of their way to give them a good education. 15:07.868 --> 15:10.269 [SPEAKER_00]: These are the rights that we all do on a daily basis. 15:11.369 --> 15:12.190 [SPEAKER_00]: Those are the abroad. 15:12.690 --> 15:13.750 [SPEAKER_00]: Those are the righteous folks. 15:14.611 --> 15:18.513 [SPEAKER_00]: And Subhan Allah, you find it in a very beautiful Hadith that 15:19.714 --> 15:27.697 [SPEAKER_00]: Ibn Amar al-Rawiyallahu tal'an was, he narrates his very hadith that he was performing ta'waf around the kabatullah. 15:28.357 --> 15:37.360 [SPEAKER_00]: And a man from Yemen was walking and performing ta'waf, but the only difference with this individual, he had his mother on top of his back. 15:38.100 --> 15:41.042 [SPEAKER_00]: And he is carrying his elderly mother on his back. 15:41.602 --> 15:46.644 [SPEAKER_00]: And while he is carrying his elderly mother, he says, in Nila haba airuh al-muballal. 15:47.085 --> 15:49.186 [SPEAKER_00]: In O'r-e'r at-reqabuh al-mujal. 15:49.826 --> 16:05.454 [SPEAKER_00]: That I am like a camel that is riding, that is taking its ride around the kabatullah, the only difference between me and my ride is that the camel will get tired, but I will not get tired serving my mother. 16:06.194 --> 16:07.035 [SPEAKER_00]: What does this man say? 16:07.615 --> 16:18.402 [SPEAKER_00]: That I am carrying my mother on his back, but the only difference between a actual ride, example of a camel, is that the camel would get tired, but I will not get tired. 16:19.162 --> 16:20.603 [SPEAKER_00]: And he utteres these words. 16:21.323 --> 16:26.767 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he asked Ibn Yawam ar-Rawiyyallahu t-ta-l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l-A'l- 16:29.199 --> 16:36.983 [SPEAKER_00]: which such humbleness, such love that this child is doing for his mother, that have I fulfilled the right of my mother. 16:38.204 --> 16:39.585 [SPEAKER_00]: I ask you my congregation. 16:40.697 --> 16:44.079 [SPEAKER_00]: Has anyone ever been blessed to take their mother for Umrah or Hajj? 16:44.719 --> 17:03.030 [SPEAKER_00]: And if you've been blessed to take your mother for Umrah or Hajj, and if you had the opportunity to drag her on a wheelchair around the whole Gabatullah or perhaps even for Hajj, around all of the Argans of Hajj, and then all of a sudden, if you feel that perhaps you fulfilled her right to a certain degree, 17:04.071 --> 17:07.415 [SPEAKER_00]: Understand, the Iman Amaroghya allowed to access to this Yemeni man. 17:07.975 --> 17:25.695 [SPEAKER_00]: He says, Wala, Bizafrat and Wahida, you haven't fulfilled the right of your mother, even to the extent that the contractions that she went through, while you were inside the womb, even one contraction does not even equal to the amount of work she has done for you. 17:26.195 --> 17:26.735 [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine that. 17:27.096 --> 17:31.439 [SPEAKER_00]: Just one contraction is not equal to all you have done in this world for her. 17:32.079 --> 17:38.644 [SPEAKER_00]: So continue to serve your mother, continue to serve your parents, even the armor of your louser and reminds us of this. 17:38.984 --> 17:40.846 [SPEAKER_00]: So what does Allah say in the al-Aborah? 17:41.406 --> 17:45.929 [SPEAKER_00]: The righteous are those that serve their parents, they serve their children. 17:46.569 --> 17:50.952 [SPEAKER_00]: In Jannah, when they go inside Jannah, Allah will give them a cup. 17:50.992 --> 17:52.232 [SPEAKER_00]: They will drink from this cup. 17:52.733 --> 17:58.976 [SPEAKER_00]: But the only difference is in the very next ayah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, Innan Abarariya Shabunam and Ketsan Qarim Azajuhah, Qafurah. 17:58.996 --> 18:00.457 [SPEAKER_00]: Ayyena Ya Shabunam and Ketsan Qarim Azajuhah, Qafurah. 18:00.477 --> 18:02.218 [SPEAKER_00]: Ayyena Ya Shabunam and Ketsan Qarim Azajuhah, Qafurah. 18:02.238 --> 18:03.959 [SPEAKER_00]: Ayyena Ya Shabunam and Ketsan Qarim Azajuhah, Qafurah. 18:03.979 --> 18:05.960 [SPEAKER_00]: Ayyena Ya Shabunam and Ketsan Qarim Azajuhah, Qafurah. 18:07.481 --> 18:18.751 [SPEAKER_00]: Injana will grab this cup, he will go under a spring that will be coming out and he will take his cup, put it under the spring and he will drink from this very spring. 18:19.492 --> 18:27.599 [SPEAKER_00]: This very example that Allah gives us reminds us of the example of this world that you go to a gathering and you are serving yourself. 18:28.019 --> 18:30.321 [SPEAKER_00]: No one is coming to you and serving you. 18:30.782 --> 18:31.983 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's the first example. 18:32.463 --> 18:34.704 [SPEAKER_00]: And I want you to pay attention to each one of the examples. 18:35.004 --> 18:36.825 [SPEAKER_00]: There are total number of three examples. 18:37.266 --> 18:40.267 [SPEAKER_00]: The second example in the very next verse, what does Allah say? 18:41.668 --> 18:43.469 [SPEAKER_00]: That there is another group of people in Jedna. 18:44.169 --> 18:48.251 [SPEAKER_00]: You scone, fihah, katsan, gana, mizajwa, hazan, jabilah. 18:48.972 --> 18:51.113 [SPEAKER_00]: Ainan, fihah, tu-sam, masal, sabilah. 18:51.593 --> 18:54.034 [SPEAKER_00]: Wayatufu, alayhi, muldan, mûchalladun. 18:54.495 --> 18:57.316 [SPEAKER_00]: Il'a ar-a'r-a'i-tuhum, haseb-tuhum, lul-l-l-am-manturah. 18:57.716 --> 19:00.438 [SPEAKER_00]: The second group of people, what does Allah say? 19:00.798 --> 19:17.485 [SPEAKER_00]: And you scone a fear, ha, gas, and they will be giving something to drink, can a massage who has a jabile, the only difference is that the people in this very example, in the second example, the drink that they will be given will be called Zanjabile. 19:17.885 --> 19:20.006 [SPEAKER_00]: The flavor will be called Zanjabile. 19:20.687 --> 19:22.727 [SPEAKER_00]: Aina and fear had to submassel Sabile. 19:23.148 --> 19:28.170 [SPEAKER_00]: They will drink from a fountain or a river named Sal Sabile. 19:29.030 --> 19:43.022 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah says, you too, for Ilehim, will then Muhammadul Adon, that the people that will serve this second group, they will be eternal children, young children, will come and serve this second group of people. 19:43.822 --> 19:46.364 [SPEAKER_00]: In the first example, we learned that in his self-service. 19:46.965 --> 19:50.468 [SPEAKER_00]: In the second example, people are coming and serving you. 19:51.320 --> 19:58.088 [SPEAKER_00]: And these folks that are coming and serving you, they will be eternal children, young, beautiful children. 19:58.488 --> 20:01.792 [SPEAKER_00]: Either Raaitahum, Hasibatum, Lutlu, and Manfura. 20:02.113 --> 20:08.039 [SPEAKER_00]: When you look at this young child, they will look like shining pearls. 20:08.620 --> 20:11.582 [SPEAKER_00]: and they will continue to serve the people of Jenna. 20:12.002 --> 20:13.343 [SPEAKER_00]: That is the second group of people. 20:13.723 --> 20:15.965 [SPEAKER_00]: So you have the first group, self-service. 20:16.365 --> 20:20.308 [SPEAKER_00]: The second group, they will be served by these young children. 20:20.628 --> 20:23.010 [SPEAKER_00]: So the different of the gathering is a little different. 20:23.730 --> 20:24.851 [SPEAKER_00]: But the third gathering. 20:25.948 --> 20:35.155 [SPEAKER_00]: is so special to Allah Subhan Allah, that to go to this gathering, to be able to be blessed in this very gathering, you have to dress differently. 20:35.735 --> 20:37.357 [SPEAKER_00]: You have to come with a dress code. 20:37.897 --> 20:44.082 [SPEAKER_00]: Now only do you have to come with a dress code, but this gathering is extremely special to Allah Subhan Allah. 20:44.562 --> 20:46.404 [SPEAKER_00]: In the very next verses, what does Allah say? 20:51.047 --> 21:02.672 [SPEAKER_00]: Wahulu as I would have been for them, that the third group of people they will come to the gathering in Jannah, and they will be adorned with green silk garment. 21:03.603 --> 21:04.463 [SPEAKER_00]: What is the dress code? 21:04.963 --> 21:09.124 [SPEAKER_00]: Green silk garment will be given to these people of agenda. 21:09.764 --> 21:12.705 [SPEAKER_00]: Now only will be, will they be adorn in this very manner? 21:13.085 --> 21:13.845 [SPEAKER_00]: What does Allah say? 21:13.865 --> 21:15.726 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Hulu, Asahi would have been Fibba. 21:16.146 --> 21:19.747 [SPEAKER_00]: They will be given a bracelet to put on made out of silver. 21:20.427 --> 21:30.709 [SPEAKER_00]: So now only do they have a beautiful dress code, made out of green fine silk, but they will be given something to put on their wrist as a form of a bracelet, 21:34.011 --> 21:39.217 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like you go to a nice gathering and nice wedding, you put your Rolex on, you put beautiful clothes on. 21:39.738 --> 21:46.226 [SPEAKER_00]: Automatically, you know that that person is going to a fine dining, nice place, something very nice occasions happening. 21:47.667 --> 21:49.189 [SPEAKER_00]: But this is Jen and I were talking about. 21:50.063 --> 21:52.884 [SPEAKER_00]: and then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the third example. 21:53.444 --> 21:58.165 [SPEAKER_00]: The first example, the people of Jannah, they were given something to drink called Qafura. 21:58.605 --> 22:03.406 [SPEAKER_00]: The second example, the people of Jannah, they were given something to drink, called Zen Jabila. 22:03.906 --> 22:07.787 [SPEAKER_00]: But the third example was so special, the people are so special. 22:08.187 --> 22:09.047 [SPEAKER_00]: What does Allah say? 22:13.008 --> 22:24.480 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ada will give these people something to drink himself through the magnificent glory of the angels and Allah will provide them something to drink. 22:24.900 --> 22:32.588 [SPEAKER_00]: But the description of this very drink in the third group of people of jannah is called Shahabantahura. 22:33.230 --> 22:34.511 [SPEAKER_00]: purified drink. 22:35.151 --> 22:44.978 [SPEAKER_00]: In other words, the gathering will be so purified, will be so pure that the only description that can be given to the drink is purified drink. 22:45.519 --> 22:47.120 [SPEAKER_00]: That's how beautiful the example is. 22:47.961 --> 22:55.946 [SPEAKER_00]: But at the very last part of these very verses and the three examples that Allah SWT gives, what is the last part he says? 22:56.707 --> 23:00.730 [SPEAKER_00]: He closes off by saying, in Naha dha gana lakum jiza. 23:02.075 --> 23:05.356 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my brothers and sisters, this is your reward. 23:06.116 --> 23:19.380 [SPEAKER_00]: But I ask you, a personal question, every one of you, and I want you to ask yourself, is there anything in this world that we have done that Allah SWT can bless us with this type of reward? 23:20.200 --> 23:27.182 [SPEAKER_00]: Is there anything that we personally feel that you know what, perhaps we've done something that Allah can bless us with this type of agenda? 23:27.942 --> 23:30.823 [SPEAKER_00]: The truth is no, we haven't done anything. 23:31.563 --> 23:33.324 [SPEAKER_00]: But we must strive to do something. 23:34.765 --> 23:50.818 [SPEAKER_00]: This is why Allah says in the very next verse, when he mentions that this is your reward, what does Allah say in the Hadqan, al-Lakum jaza, wakana sa'yukum maskura, understand Allah Subhanahu wa t-ta'ala appreciates your effort. 23:51.660 --> 23:53.181 [SPEAKER_00]: everything that you do in this world. 23:53.681 --> 24:00.966 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah finishes these very verses by reminding us what can a sa'yukummaskura that your efforts are appreciated. 24:01.607 --> 24:09.132 [SPEAKER_00]: All of the hard work that you do, even though the outcome was not achieved, your efforts were appreciated by Allah's panelata. 24:09.632 --> 24:11.033 [SPEAKER_00]: So continue to strive. 24:11.493 --> 24:12.934 [SPEAKER_00]: Continue to make an effort. 24:13.294 --> 24:15.355 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't ever say to yourself, you know, what's the point? 24:15.395 --> 24:16.755 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing all of this hard work. 24:17.095 --> 24:19.637 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not giving me the results in the outcome. 24:19.737 --> 24:23.338 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to understand Allah, appreciates your hard work. 24:23.698 --> 24:31.562 [SPEAKER_00]: When you go out in the scorching heat, raising your voices for our brothers and sisters of Gaza, understand that you may not see the outcome. 24:32.082 --> 24:34.343 [SPEAKER_00]: But the efforts are appreciated by Allah. 24:34.763 --> 24:40.466 [SPEAKER_00]: All of the hard work you do for your family and your children on a daily basis, you go out and work for them. 24:40.846 --> 24:45.428 [SPEAKER_00]: And then you come back home and you feel like no one is appreciating in your house. 24:45.808 --> 24:46.349 [SPEAKER_00]: You know what? 24:46.549 --> 24:53.492 [SPEAKER_00]: It's okay because Allah appreciates your hard work and all of the things that our mothers do in our community. 24:53.952 --> 24:56.434 [SPEAKER_00]: all of the hard works that they do every day. 24:56.854 --> 25:02.398 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your husband may not appreciate you but understand that Allah appreciates your hard work. 25:02.918 --> 25:14.946 [SPEAKER_00]: Never in this world look at yourself and say, you know what, no one's appreciating it, what's the point by Allah, Allah reminds us that he appreciates every one of our hard work. 25:15.346 --> 25:19.950 [SPEAKER_00]: So continue to strive, continue to make an effort because at the end of the day, 25:20.690 --> 25:25.732 [SPEAKER_00]: What Allah says and where Allah feels about you matters more than anything. 25:26.032 --> 25:28.953 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask Allah to allow us and forgive us of our sins. 25:29.254 --> 25:35.276 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask Allah to allow us and enable us to become people that strive for the sake of the deen. 25:35.556 --> 25:44.520 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask Allah to grant victory to our brothers and sisters of Allah, to grant victory to our brothers and sisters of Sudan, Kashmir, and Burma, wherever we are struggling. 25:44.840 --> 25:45.921 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give them ease and comfort. 25:45.941 --> 25:55.532 [SPEAKER_00]: Barak Allahulana wa l-Khamfiul Quran al-Aadim wa Nafani wa Yikm Bila'ati wa t-Diq Al-Hakim Wa l-Kawli Hada s-Sahfar Allahul Al-Hari wa l-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Khamfiul Al-Kham
